Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 158c (12.0 g, 46.1 mmol) in methanol (100 mL) was added 10% Pd/C (1.0 g), and the reaction mixture was stirred at 15° C. for 16 h under hydrogen atmosphere. See FIG. 4. The resulting mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to afford ethyl 3-(3-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)propanoate 158d (11.0 g, crude) as a colorless solid.
